This would be a fairly hard chokepoint to manage, and Memnon looked to be the locus of what would be my new empire. The scout ships set out to see what was happening and I came to quickly realise that Memnon was nice and close to the pirate base, and to the opposition. I could see the crystal market constantly crashing in this game, as I sold the stuff off to keep myself lined with metal. All this crystal around me, and only a sliver of metal available for me to use. My west held another two arctic planets with as much crystal between them. To my north was a nice big Arctic planet by the name of Memnon with four crystal mines ripe for use. Josh (light blue): The start of the game looked promising. These two points will become important to my strategy. And in the late game, it can eventually construct Novalith cannons, superweapons capable of depopulating a world in two shots from across the length of the map. It can build income-boosting trade ports earlier in the game than any other species. While its fleet is somewhat generic, the TEC does have some interesting abilities. However, the вЂњTвЂќ might as well stand for вЂњTerranвЂќ, because the TEC is the vanilla human race of a thousand space operas. Peter (dark blue): Josh and I both played the same faction, the TEC вЂ“ TradersвЂ™ Emergency Coalition. The rules: Two human players versus two Hard AI players. The game: Sins of a Solar Empire, with the Diplomacy expansion. IвЂ™m pleased to present this blogвЂ™s first cooperative after-action report (AAR)/LetвЂ™s Play (LP)! For todayвЂ™s post, The Stompers of Comps #1, we played one of my preferred timekillers, a polished and, IвЂ™m glad to say, profitable space-opera RTS from a small developer that punched well above its weight.
